Bigger being an African American male at the time experienced major defiance by others, but also limited to what he could achieve. Everybody has their personal goals and Bigger was set at a limit that he could never surpass due to his race. Also, the oppurtunities given related to his race. This picture represents bigger being in jail behind bars with the symbol of the gate it shows that they are enclosed and kept at a limit because they as in Bigger and African Americans throughout generations are placed in jail. In some cases there is nothing for them to do and their only option is to hope and strive until justice is won period.

I choose this image because it shows Biggers most dominate emotion which is trapped anger. Biggers knows that he will never be able to make his family life better and he also knows he won't be as successful as a white man would be. Bigger also has not positive outlet to let out his emotions so his dominate emotion is anger that he is holding in.

This photo represents my "family tree", and the different people and generations that have grown and blossomed in my abnormally large family. This photo also represents my family because you can surprisely (due to global warming, pollution, and the excessive cutting of trees) still find/see trees everywhere in the world, but you can't find such an affectionate and warmhearted family like mine...anywhere!

I think that this flag best defines bigger's cultural identity because, it's a painting of the American flag and Bigger's from America which is very racist at the time and due to painting of three different sized flags define that America has many different sides to it when it comes to race just like there are Americans who have smaller hearts than others meaning they are stricter when race is the subject.

Other than the fact that I barely have a social life due to my parents... Jk it just takes a little convincing. I am an over achiever and these trophies best represent me because I'm a very competitive person when it comes to school.

This clock represents my dominant emotions because I constantly feel like I'm counting down or waiting for something. I'm counting down to the end of school year. I'm counting down to my AP tests. I'm counting down to an important email about this program I've applied to. I'm counting down to something in the future.

I try to be very optimistic about sitautaions in my life and I try to see the good in everything. I think spending time wishing for things I don't have is a waste of time. I feel very lucky to be able to say I'm grateful for everything in my life at the moment.

I look a picture of the DHS letters because I am apart of the color guard with the school. I am very passionate about it and have made many great friendships along the way.

Bigger feels like his whole life has been leading towards a big event and there's nothing he can do to stop it. This one way signs represents how Bigger feels that he doesn't have a choice or say in his own life or future.

I chose this picture of the "day of silence" poster because bigger feels that he is silenced by the society due to the fact that he is not equivalent to the whites and so therefore he uses the expression "to fly" because he wants to fly to freedom and be able to speak and do whatever he wants.

This picture represents my identity because the compilation of my school, parents, and friends as well as my experiences have allowed me to gather a variety of views about the world. The different colors on the paint brushes, as well as the the different sizes and shapes represent all of the different sources of inspiration in my life. This variety of viewpoints and opportunities I have are in direct contrast to Bigger's life, where his opportunities are severly limited

I feel that who I am is still under construction, that my identity is behind a door at the end of a hallway.
I just haven't found the right door yet.

I chose this picture because I think the chair being discarded despite being usable if cared for symbolizes the squalor Bigger and his family lives in

# data[].attributes.body
I choose thie picture to represent my hobbies because it is me and my musical theater book. As an African American I am very lucky to have the opportunities that I have. In Native Son Bigger is not able to have positive outlets and express himself so he turns to violence. If I was born during Bigger's time I wouldn't be as lucky.

Bigger's Cultural Identity - Alex Costello

# data[].attributes.body
This picture represents Bigger's cultural identity. People in society have made him believe that he was at the bottom of society, they made him feel like trash. Bigger feels as if his dreams are unable to be accomplished.

I took this picture because Bigger had a very small place to live and space was tight for him and his family.

This represents bigger's home life because he was born into and is still dealing with poverty( not financially stable

# data[].attributes.body
I think that this picture represents a large portion of Bigger's identity. The restrictiveness of Bigger's race, as well as economic standin in the time period leaves him feeling like his path in life as been predetermined, and he has no control. In this photo, the tree represents Bigger's fatalistic view of himself: that he is being forced and guided to a path he has no choice in.

# data[].attributes.body
Bigger feels trapped within his life because he is black and feels unimportant to the rest of the world. He is intimidated by white culture and therefor is constantly fearful. He has an angry fire within himself because he is not offered the same opportunities as white men and women. This fear motivates his violent actions in the book. However, he feels he cannot share these feelings with the rest of the world because he is distrustful to others.

I chose this picture to represent Bigger's cultural identity, because I feel that the American flag still hanging despite the condition of it's surroundings accurately reflects and symbolizes the attitude of African American culture in that era.

One of the funnest things for me is to grow flowers and my own food that will be enjoyed by others.

I chose this picture of my friend because it shows how we have the privilege to do many things that Bigger wasn't able to do. When Bigger described his activities with his friends, he said that they often either went to the poolroom, one of the only places they were welcome, or robbed convenience stores because they didn't have the money to purchase anything. While my friends and are able to order food to the school.

I chose this picture because I feel that Bigger wants to have some of the more expensive things in life.

I chose this picture of a plot of weeds in order to symbolize how Bigger feels like a "weed of society". When Native Son was set, African American Individuals were not regarded as an actual part of society but rather a blemish on it's face.
